Last week, Eric Weinstein put out a tweet that I think sums up our moment really well. For the past century, ‘communist’ has been a go-to epithet in American discourse to dismiss everything from a minimal social safety net, to ObamaCare, all the way to Kamala Harris’s 2020 campaign proposal to fully ban private health insurance. Sometimes the use of the word was downright paranoid and sometimes it was a fair label, but in most cases, the criticism didn’t engage seriously with the real core of communism — the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.
